Gaps

In the framework of a Sea Level Research Group, did you find any knowledge gaps?

  • Several

  • Modelling glacial isostatic adjustment, Modelling mountain glacier contribution to present and future sea-level**

  • Tidal modelling, GIA modelling

  • I think there were experts in every field, but scattered

  • Assesment of vertical land movements (not only GIA) for relative sea-level change**

  • Tidal and high resolution coastal modelling

  • We do not have competence within the field of glacioisostatic modelling and also GPS/sealevel measuring (Kartverket/Map Authority)

Strategy to fill Gaps

Which is the best strategy to fill those gaps?

Target

Can you identify priority areas to be targeted by a Sea Level Research Group?

  • “I HAVE JUST MARKED BY OWN RESEARCH PRIORITIES. I AM NOT CONVINCED THE SLR GROUP SHOULD HAVE AN OVERALL RESEARCH PRIORITY. PEOPLE SHOULD WORK ON WHATEVER THEY ARE WORKING ON AND USE THE GROUP TO FIND POSSIBLE COLLABORATIONS”

  • “BROADEN THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND REPRESENT SL RESEARCH IN THE LARGER BJERKNES COMMUNITY”

Your Study

Can you tell more about your idea for a collaborative sea-level study

  • Downscaling of the NorESM sea level projection using observations, the reanalyses and projections of sea level (TOPAZ and NorCPM respectively)

  • I think collaboration will come naturally in this group of people sharing ideas

  • Modulation of extreme sea levels by interannual/decadal variability and the evaluation of hindcasts with respect to predicting this variability

Funding Line

Which could be the most appropriate funding line for your study?

Funding Strategy

Which is your preferred funding strategy?

  • “I HOPE BCCR WILL ALLOCATE RESOURCES FOR SEALEVEL RESEARCH”
